Ive looked at the side enter cages but never tried as the triangle wont take a full size bottle. _________________ Where theres muck theres money........well im still diging and skint.

If you prefer a bottle to the camelbak on certain rides, you could try the ones that lock on to the back of the seat or the seat post by clamp, they may be a good choice for your bike. _________________ Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-dee-da-dee-dee La-dee-da-dee-da

If i had'nt already fitted the pump bracket on the seat post then i would but there was nowhere for that to fit. _________________ Where theres muck theres money........well im still diging and skint.
